Technical FAQs 4

Can planetary mixer slurries be used for lithium-ion batteries?

When producing electrode slurries for lithium-ion batteries, it is be necessary to break up potential agglomerates and avoid local material accumulation on a microscopic level. Currently, planetary mixers are preferred for mixing battery slurries for cathode and anode. But is this really the best and most efficient method for mixing battery masses?

How to make a battery?

How to Make a Battery Step1. Electrode Manufacturing: Mixing Electrode manufacturing is a key procedure where the battery cathode and anode are made. And the first step of it is mixing. As its name suggests, electrode materials are measured and mixed in this step; active materials and solvents are mixed, producing slurries.

What is the mixing process of lithium ion batteries?

The mixing process is the first step in the production of lithium-ion batteries. It is crucial for the quality of the battery and has one of the greatest impacts on the cell's performance. In the mixing process, active material, binder, and conductive additives are mixed with a dispersion agent like water or solvent to form a slurry.

What types of mixing processes are used in battery manufacturing?

Battery manufacturing facilities, especially large-scale Gigafactories, have the option of using batch mixing processes, semi-continuous mixing processes, and fully-continuous mixing processes. Batch mixing, commonly used in smaller production lines, involves processing a fixed quantity of slurry in each cycle.
